Silence

The notice exhorting
visitors to "Silence" when in the ruins, is on the road to St. Junien and is
seen by all visitors entering through the Centre de la Mémoire. The notice also
appears at the old southern and
northern entrances to the ruins of Oradour-sur-Glane. Sadly it is not always
followed and some people, lost in their own affairs and distanced by time from the 10th June 1944, do their own thing, regardless of the ghosts of
the past, or the feelings of the present (by for example, yapping loudly on
their mobile phones).
